Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Dr Grim Is there any chance at all of adrenal insufficiency 1 year after a successful left adrenalectomy for Conn's? I wrote before how I am struggling with a viral illness since Dec 9th Went into an allergic reaction on Jan 3rd from taking Sudafed which had yellow dye I wasn't aware of. Was seen in ER, given Prednisone 50 mg to take 5 days, after 4 I felt so ill with nausea and leg fatigue that I stopped it, felt better for one day then had extreme excitablility, almost manic, unable to eat or sleep, shaking chills without any fever at all which lasted for so many hours I ended up in the ER at the hospital my Endo goes to, 50 miles away. Endocrinology totally denies it can be anything to do with the remaining adrenal and refused to see me in the ER or offer any suggestions. They say the prednisone wouldn't have caused those problems. Says it has to be allergic or viral and my primary has to handle it. She refused to handle it so now I am forced to find another primary. My allergies, which were under control, are now not and I feel like I am coming down with another URI. Energy was good yesterday, bad today I lost 7n lbs in one week. Any suggestions for the new primary doc? I felt so good prior to this after feeling so poorly for so many years before the Conn's diagnosis. I want to feel good again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
